Liberty City Hardcore, also known as Liberty City Hardcore Classics or LCHC (stylized as "L.C.H.C."), is a radio station that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV and plays music from the New York Hardcore music scene. It returns in GTA IV's episode The Lost and Damned, also part of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.

Mostly punk rock songs made in the 1980s, the original GTA IV setlist, hosted by Murphy's Law vocalist Jimmy Gestapo, pays homage to New York City's rock scene at CBGB, an iconic bar where most of the bands featured (except possibly Maximum Penalty and Underdog) have performed at one point or another.

In The Lost and Damned, the segment of Max Cavalera, frontman of metal bands Sepultura, Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy, is referred to as the "Blood Fire War Hate Death Metal Show", having transitioned from hardcore punk to even heavier black and death metal.
